Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of Portland is exploring the availability of potential sites for a new performing arts venue. This Request for Expressions of Interest (RFEI) invites submissions by interest-holding parties for properties which could be suitable for this use. The City may select up to three sites that meet the minimum requirements for further evaluation and conceptual design work to evaluate feasibility. The privately led effort to propose a Keller Auditorium renovation design on the current site will be completed by late summer 2023. The renovation design will be paired with the list of properties that could serve as potential sites for a new large-scale performing arts facility to provide City leaders a comprehensive set of options for exploring the future of performing arts in Portland. Working with Metro and the Portland'5 Centers for the Performing Arts, the City of Portland Spectator Venues Program will manage the solicitation, evaluation and selection process.
